As to the LCR I have had a couple of trigger reset issues which were common with the early models. It is accurate and the trigger is excellent but it is a carry piece and the couple of issues creates doubt. I like the weight because it is exclusively for pocket carry but it is just butt ugly. My thoughts are unless you plan to pocket carry then get an SP101.

+1 Also makes it into the house under my ugly rule - barely, but I could let it in the door.

My SP has the grips with the inserts and I bought a set of Jim's (41 Magnum) panels and it dressed it up nicely.

Lcr makes a good back up or inclement weather gun, it is not to be
seen until used.

Late to the party, but I just joined and found this thread. Hello, Sightngrl !! I've missed your wit since I left the "other forum".....

.....

I have the .357 for carry, and the .22 for practice and fun.

I'm a bit of a dinosaur, so I barely live with the grip frames being plastic. At least the main frames are metal. I would like the .22 better if it's frame was stainless like the .357, and I'd like both better with a brushed finish instead of the black coatings. The .22's coating is more fragile than what's on the .357, and it's a royal pain cleaning around the forcing cone without scraping the coating.

I do like the triggers. The .357's is the best I've ever felt on a snub. I got lucky with my .22 and got a good trigger. It seems to be only a couple pounds heavier than the .357. It was the best of three in the store, and better than any I tried after.
